. The genus Arion includes several slug species, some of which areconsidered to be a pest to both cultivated and wild flora. Within this genus,the Arion ater complex comprises two different morphological forms:Arion rufus and A. ater, but there is no consensus abouttheir species status. Their phylogenetic relationships have been recentlysolved, both of them belonging to different phylogenetic clades, but theirspecies status is still unclear (as different clades are not always differentspecies). For this reason, the aim of this study was to precisely identify these speciesstatus by employing the up-to-date multi-rate Poisson tree processes (mPTP)methodology as well as the classic methodology of genetic distances, both ofwhich have three different mitochondrial genes. Results confirmed that bothA. ater and A. rufus are independent evolutionary clades,and the high genetic distances between them (K2P distances ranged between 9.1and 16.4 %, depending on genes) together with mPTP analyses, supportedthe idea that the clades correspond to different species. Results will beuseful for the classification of these specific species as well as fordeveloping proper pest control methodologies and conservation policies inboth cultivated and wild plants.
